Chapter 348: The Immortal and Everlasting Beast

The conversation between the two in the room reached Xu Ke's ears, seemingly causing a great shock to his young heart.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, wanting to speak but hesitating.

While Li Fan was not shocked by the cold and decisive manner in which Emperor Sanmo regarded the Disciples within the sect as ants, what made him quite helpless was that the faint aura emanating from the white-bearded old man caused the possessed Mysterious Bird to feel a trembling sensation from the depths of its Soul.

Under the oppression of the innate superior's pressure, the Mysterious Bird's thoughts seemed to freeze in an instant, with only its body subconsciously trembling slightly, unable to make any other movement.

From the Mysterious Bird's inherited Bloodline memories, Li Fan immediately understood what a noble existence this beast of wisdom before him was among the exotic beasts.

In the primordial era when the entire exotic beast tribe had not yet grown strong, Emperor Sanmo was already the tribe's prophet, using his unparalleled wisdom to lead the tribe forward in its development.

He was independent and unconventional; although he was an exotic beast, he always liked to transform into a human form.

Unlike many exotic beasts that strongly rejected contact with humans, it was said that he traveled the human world for hundreds of years and made many human friends.

He called on the exotic beasts to be united and dedicated, just like humans.

After studying many human Cultivation Techniques, he even improved the cultivation methods of various races at that time, greatly increasing the cultivation speed of the exotic beasts.

The exotic beast tribe's ability to go from occupying a remote corner to later spreading across the world was absolutely due to the contributions of this Emperor Sanmo.

However, that was something that happened countless years ago.

Yet, the appearance of the one before him was exactly the same as what the ancestor of the Mysterious Bird had once seen.

The Mysterious Birds had multiplied generation after generation, but Emperor Sanmo remained that same Emperor Sanmo.

A beast of wisdom is also a beast of longevity.

Because he had lived long enough and seen enough, he possessed wisdom that ordinary people could hardly reach.

It was just that a long time ago, Emperor Sanmo seemed to have rarely appeared.

He vanished without a trace, his whereabouts unknown.

Unexpectedly, he had quietly come to this Beast Taming Sect, which was most hated by the exotic beasts.

It seemed that Emperor Sanmo's status in the Beast Taming Sect was not low, as he acted as a leader.

The white-bearded old man discussed a few more things with Lu Ya, then turned to look at the Mysterious Bird possessed by Li Fan.

Nodding slightly, Emperor Sanmo said with gratification, "Being able to stay by this child's side is also a blessing for your Mysterious Bird clan. Perhaps, you will be able to pass on your Legacy longer than other branches."

"However, why does a little fellow like you look so malnourished…"

"So it is because you were separated from your mother after birth and did not receive nourishment from the maternal womb."

Emperor Sanmo stroked his long beard and plucked one strand.

Afterward, the white beard emitted a glowing white light and was flicked by his finger into Li Fan's body.

The white light wandered around, and wherever it passed, vibrant vitality burst forth.

The feeling of becoming stronger every moment was several times more intense than when he had previously absorbed the exposed Luck of Xu Ke.

It made Li Fan almost want to chirp in comfort.

After circulating through his body once, the white light still did not dissipate, only dimming slightly.

Thus, it began another round of circulation.

Immersed in this mild and warm vitality, Li Fan suddenly felt his mind and spirit extremely comfortable, and a sense of fatigue surged into his heart.

Before falling into a deep sleep, he only heard Lu Ya's somewhat surprised voice: "Senior, what are you doing…"

Emperor Sanmo's gift was absolutely a great tonic for the Mysterious Bird.

Because Li Fan's journey in the Fallen Immortal Realm, which should have lasted more than three months, ended just like that in a muddled way.

When he regained consciousness, he had already returned to the tianxuan mirror in the real world.

Although this journey was extremely short and likewise had no gains.

But Li Fan at least knew that the next time he entered, it should continue from the time point after he fell asleep.

With such a long buildup, the final harvest should not be too shabby.

Moreover, Li Fan was also very curious about what the task assigned by Mr. Bai actually was.

And what would be the final outcome for Lu Ya, Xu Ke, and that Emperor Sanmo?

After reviewing the experience in the Fallen Immortal Realm in his mind again, Li Fan pondered for a while, and seeing that Ji Hongdao still hadn't sent a message to summon him, he once again devoted himself to Cultivation.

Two months later, when the "Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation" broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ji Hongdao finally sent a message.

It was concise and to the point, without a single word of nonsense.

"Within seven days, come to the Cosmos Abode to see me."

Li Fan did not set off immediately, but first asked Xue Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, where are you now? Have you received a summons from Teacher Ji?"

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xue Mu finally replied: "Fellow Daoist Li Fan, I am currently in Tianchen State. It is said that the Old Fisherman has been staying here recently, and it seems he is interested in more things than before. Three lucky people have already successfully obtained benefits from him. So I wanted to come and try my Luck."

"Unfortunately, Luck was not with me this time; by the time I arrived, he had already vanished. I still wanted to wander around a bit more, but then I received the transmission from Teacher Ji."

Li Fan replied: "Opportunities and such cannot be forced. This task of building the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array concerns our future, so it cannot be delayed. Fellow Daoist, you should return quickly; I will wait for you in the city, and we will go together."

Xue Mu's flattered voice immediately came through: "Good, what you say is right, Fellow Daoist; I will return right away."

In the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there were interconnected teleportation Formations everywhere, so traveling was quite fast.

Just half a day later, Xue Mu returned to Tianyu City.

"Let's go." Li Fan looked at Xue Mu, who seemed a bit travel-worn, but whose spirit and energy were much stronger than before, and nodded.

"I have kept you waiting, Fellow Daoist." Xue Mu said with a face full of guilt.

"Think nothing of it." Li Fan waved his hand, not caring at all.

"Fellow Daoist, you just broke through to the Golden Core Realm a year ago, but observing the aura around you, it seems you are not far from another Breakthrough?" Li Fan observed Xue Mu for a moment and asked with some surprise.

Xue Mu nodded: "Fellow Daoist's eyes are like torches. It is strange to say, but I haven't spent much effort on Cultivation recently. Most of the time, I have been visiting and traveling through the wonders of heaven and earth in the nearby states. I didn't deliberately pursue the improvement of my cultivation, but under the various magnificent rhythms of heaven and earth, my cultivation has grown significantly without me realizing it."

"On the contrary, when I Cultivate by myself, the effect is not as good as I imagined."

He scratched his head embarrassedly: "I don't know what is going on either."

Suddenly, he paused and said somewhat uncertainly: "Perhaps, it is because the influence of the 'Transformation into God Wall' has not yet disappeared?"

"Is it that miraculous? What did you see on that shadow wall?" Surprised by this answer, Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

As the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the Cosmos Abode.

Stepping in one after another, this time there were no successive Formations greeting them; instead, they arrived directly in a small courtyard with pleasant scenery.

There was no one in the courtyard, so Li Fan and Xue Mu found a place to sit down and continued the previous topic.
